WP Theater has announced plans for its 40th Anniversary Season Gala and Women of Achievement Awards. The gala, chaired by WP board members Laura Beinner and Jenna Segal, will honor Goldman Sachs treasurer Beth Hammack and Tony Award-winning producer Daryl Roth (Kinky Boots). The Gala will take place on June 4 at the Edison Ballroom.

Hosted by Tony Award-winning actor and director Victoria Clark (Cinderella), the evening will feature special performances by Krysta Rodriguez (What We're Up Against), Brooklyn's premier Dolly Parton cover band Doll Parts, and an original song written by WP Lab member and 2018 Jonathan Larson Grant winner Zoe Sarnak and performed by 2018 Tony nominee Ariana DeBose (Summer: The Donna Summer Musical), Damon Daunno (Hadestown), and Margo Seibert (In Transit).

The Women of Achievement Awards aims to deliver an inspiring, entertaining, star-studded night that celebrates the accomplishments of vital women across many disciplines in New York and beyond.
